Being driven insane .......

[wolf63]

My little Princess has been annoying the crapola out of me for most of the day. I am trying to play with the computer so she suddenly needs a cuddle or just attention. This is fine by me. But she won't sit still. She sits on the floor alternating between saying 'eek' and a pathetic 'meow'.

We played some sort of killing game earlier - Frankie looked on from the back of the sofa.

Last night I ignored her and she went to sleep on my printer. This was great until she managed to start the machine up and get it into doing scans.

My question is - cats drive us nuts so why do we love them? Anybody got a small wheelie bin that I can 'use'?

I have the same thing with Ria...everytime I start on my laptop....who has to
sit on my knee..going round and round, whilst I'm trying to read or type.

If I try and ignore her, she stands up on hind legs, whilst on my knee and
hits me on the side of my face, or forehead, loudly meaowing, in my face.

I don't know why we love them, they can be damned annoying, but so
lovable. x

Can Caspar go in that bin also? He has good day and bad days...mostly bad-when he spends all day howling,demanding food,being incredibly skittish,buzzing from room to room,giving me that wide-eyed 'get meeeeeee!' Then-while I'm in the shower,I can hear him and Sally 'killing' each other as they charge up and down the stairs,and bounce off the walls.

I've no idea..................I can't stand cats but love my dog, and he's totally mad.

This cats having printer problems too:

I dont love them, they do my head in!!!

[wolf63]

I forgot about the cat versus printer clips - they really are odd animals.

It is embarrassing being nagged constantly by someone 1/20th of your size, especially by someone who doesn't speak the same language as we do.

I get a bum in my face when I wake up - or a furry face staring straight at me from a distance of 1mm.

ALL the food that I put down today was rejected - I suspect that the dried food (mainly Iams) has been gobbled up by both of them.

I saw a guy with three bull-mastiffs today, do you think I could fit one of them into my flat? Gorgeous!!

[rowanwitch]

I just miss having that stress in my life... stroking redman and having his bum in my face just isn't the same

I see that this thread is in the newsletter - so there must be more than one crazy cat person on AB.

I have been in for about an hour and offered up some disgusting looking Whiskas - the jelly has been licked off and it is sitting in their bowls stinking out the kitchen. They usually win in the end. :-(

I have an old sack you can have, Sue.

[wolf63]

Trying to get my little girl in the sack would be suicide.

I remember a quote from somewhere, Saying: "dogs watch you work, cats sit on yuur work". So very true.

We wouldn't be without our two moggies, however annoying they can be at times. Looming in the dark just an inch away from he face, pestering for food when they know it's dinner time or asking for a cuddle just as you turn on the computer.

If you don't like it why are you owned by a cat. Stop griping, find it a new home where he/she will be loved to manner deserved, or give in gracefully and stop whinging.

[wolf63]

wobblybobbly - I wouldn't be without my master and mistress. They keep me in order and make sure that I know that I am the lowest form of life.

But moaning about them prevents me from throttling them. :-)

[WobblyBobbly1940]

OK!OK! I get the message.

@Wolf 63

As they say, "back at ya". I :-) too.

Best wishes to all of you who have a feline "boss". As someone once said, "if you want the best seat in the house. You will have to persuade the cat to move". Aint that so true?

[excelsior-1]

love cats myself.

i am one of those that subscribes to the axiom that you do not own cats ... they own you.

at least your printer incident did not become a cat-astrophy

[Kiki-frog]

Reminds me of when I was self-employed, and I'd be sitting at the table proof-reading, and Basilcat would appear from nowhere, swipe at the pen and run off again. Eventually clients got used to me sending back sets of proofs with wild red scribbles every few pages.

It's amazing how often 'It was the cat' does actually work as an excuse.

[Bambiagain]

I found reading a book or newspaper, or trying to do a crossword, resulted in the cat suddenly becoming affectionate and sitting on the book or newspaper. Removing her had no effect as she just came straight back. But I'd give a lot to have her still annoying me.

[WobblyBobbly1940]

Dear Bambiagain.

I sense that your companion is no longer alive. If that is the case, I am so, so sorry for your loss.
